While I was looking for a card for Terri, Max, sitting in front of the cart, asks, “Who you getting a card for, Dad?” I say Grandma or something so I’m not snitched out later on the phone. Max, says “I want to get a card for my birthday I want this one.” Points to […]
View PostGetting’ ready for night night. Got to get to bed earlier – I think staying up too late last Sat. & Sun. ruined my whole week. Filmed DDC Season 3 Episode 2 yesterday. Updated the dot biz. Feel moderately productive. First full week of school seemed to go well. Sam, told me tonight he didn’t […]
View PostAfter all the prep gearing Sam up for his “first day at Seneca Elementary school” I guess I forgot something. When I went to pick him up, he stood there looking sad, refusing to come to me. I pulled him aside and said “Sam, what’s wrong?” (Hilary, his EIA & Erica looking on) Sam: I […]
View PostNice short week after coming off Labor Day. Sam, officially started school and more importantly, riding the bus home. I think I’m one of the few that thinks the weekends seem long. I almost forgot about Sam greeting me on Friday when I got home from work until I saw this picture while looking for […]
View PostWhere we are right now: I’m reading the second book in The Hunger Games trilogy, Chasing Fire. We just made the first payment on the minivan since the lump payment of the insurance settlement on the Camry. Brian revealed to me tonight the existence of this blog & I took off running with it! We’re […]
View PostI dropped Sam off for his first day of Pre-K and headed home to play with Max. The first time that I can remember being home alone with Max where he had my undivided attention. Sure enough, in true Max fashion, he wanted to climb the kitchen & jump to me. He climbs up, gets […]
View PostTuesday 9/6/11 Sam had his first day of pre-k today! I think this is the closest I’ve ever seen him to being excited. He didn’t say he was, and didn’t smile, but I knew he was excited, as long as the wolf wouldn’t be there (darn mascot! what kind of elementary school has a scary […]
View PostI’m so excited, I’ve read 2 books in the last 2 weeks, “The Help” and “The Hunger Games” thanks to Brian getting me the audio files for my phone. I love to read, but haven’t had much time to read for pleasure in the past 4 years, or haven’t made the time. Now I’m so […]
View PostSo we had an extra 1/2 hour before Rebounders tonight, so we stopped for special treat, ice cream. Sam: Can I have blueberry ice cream? Max: I want chocolate! Sam ends up with vanilla on a cone, with rainbow sprinkles as requested. Max goes to work to devour every bite of his chocolate cone. Sam […]
View PostSo my big boy is 4 and is just starting to act like other boys. For the past 2 weeks (over end of summer break, coincidence?) he has started testing the waters, “No mom, I don’t want to.” Sam, please ______. “but first I need to ….” I wanted him to be typical, right? Help […]
